My suggestion is that you meet with / retain a lawyer to take over the handling of your matter since I am not sure that you understand the legal significance of your actions or the court's response to it. You served discovery requests on the other side and presumably, they answered your... View More

This does not sound like a domestic violence type matter (unless you were involved with this person in a dating relationship or lived together) - so not sure what type of temp restraining order was obtained against you but if this person took your tools, I would speak with the police about filing a...

Under New Jersey law, defamation suits typically involve making a false statement about someone that harms their reputation. However, in your case, since you didn't mention your ex's name, it significantly reduces the risk of a defamation claim. Anonymity in your post makes it difficult... View More

Any time that you have a legal case, you should be represented by counsel. Depending on the amount of your income you may qualify for NJ Legal Services or help from a local law school legal clinic. Good luck.

A starting point could be to look into legal aid organizations and local/state bar association websites. Good luck

You do not know the Court Rules, Rules of Evidence, case law, nor are you trained how to handle a legal case, especially if litigation is involved. However, if you do not retain counsel, and the...

Your question is not clear. Do you want a copy of a motion to reinstate that was previously filed or do you want one that you can use as a model? Trying to represent yourself in any case, even if you are a trained attorney is unwise. You need to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney to... View More
I put some blankets in a donation bin and only saw a tucked away sign saying "no bulky items, ONLY clothing and shoes" as I drove away. I would've fished the blankets out of the bin but the style of the door was like a pull-out laundry chute, it wasn't an open bin. There was... View More

Yes you could be prosecuted for dumping the blankets, but generally unless you dumped something like garbage, electronics, furniture or the like, I doudt you will see the police at your door. That being said if charged make sure you hire a lawyer.

Consult with a NJ attorney: but are you sure the real properties that you looked at are in fact assets of the Estate? Chances are the heirs at law own them, not the Estate. You might search the titles also and determine present ownership. If they are Estate assets, then file a motion to... View More

They have an online payment method and I would like to use that as my payment option if possible. Thanks
answered on Feb 24, 2024
While that is probably adequate, you could take a minute or two to contact the law firm in writing (email will do) and request instructions on how to make payment. It's likely they'll advise you to proceed as you outlined in your post, but this way, you'll be certain. Good luck

Absolutely not. You should consult an experienced family law or criminal defense attorney immediately.

If you had an attorney on the case, they would be in a better position to advise - based on the allegations made, parties who they were made against. where they arose, what the terms of the release were, etc. Based on the brief facts, it could be difficult for an attorney to sort this out in a...

In New Jersey, the general rule is that you have 90 days from the date the summons was issued to serve the defendant. However, under certain circumstances, the court may extend this time frame if you can show good cause or if it's in the interest of justice.
Since you're at 120... View More
